I understand OMD is more physics based and lets you freely chain traps together, but is there any other reason at all to get this if you have Dungeon Defenders?

I have both DD & OMD. OMD is much more...FUN, for me. DD is team-fighting-baddies, and I have terrible luck, whereas ORCS MUST DIE is a singleplayer funfest. Pew pew, kill the baddies, and there are 3 different 'trees', if you will, permitting vast re-playability. If you select different skills/traps for a level, you will have a very different play through experience.

Also, I'm US-based, and would be very interested in a Renegade Ops team-play-thingie.

Anyone played TDU2? Does it at least do the open world well? As in, can I take a car and drive all around the world without being bothered by races, minigames and online features?

I've played it...for about 10 minutes [seriously, that's how long Steam claims I've played it - I'm sure that's wrong but meh]..but honestly, for what it's worth - don't buy the game - you can drive around the world, provided you stick to the roads, but there's really nothing else to do - you might as well get Burnout Paradise or Fuel if that's your thing because the driving physics alone in TDU2 are terrible...

OK, thanks. Only OMD for me today then!

As a side note, I pre-ordered the DNF Balls of Steel edition. I don't regret it (I HAD to own it after so many years of waiting), but I'm still kind of frustrated by how cheap the game is already.

Any opinions/thoughts/descriptions on Risen? A quick search-around would suggest that it's an opinion-splitting open world fantasy romp possibly filled with wonks/flaws, would that be somewhat correct?

Pretty much yes; you're not going to find The Witcher 2 levels of polish, but it's a decent enough game if you enjoy the likes of the Gothic series [it's a 'spiritual successor'] - it's one of the few RPG's in recent years that's not afraid to just kill you if you wander off and try to fight something you shouldn't be able to beat. You defiantly see your character grow depending on your gameplay choices. Though the story's awful, whichever faction you choose, and combat is lackluster, so as you say - it's definitely opinion-splitting - it's the traditional 'European' RPG with a slightly smaller game-world than in previous games from Piranha Bytes.

Plays like Gothic (the good ones). Very difficult, but fair. The setting is a mediterranean island, so it's quite pretty. It rewards exploration better than any Bethesda game and the forests actually feel like dark, menacing forests where a wolf will kill you. It is a bit wonky, but it's worth it if you're in the mood for a challenging RPG with a rather good story and characters that feel like real people. But it turns a bit shit in the last third when it's all about dungeons and crocomen and abandons much of what made it good.

Bonus points for having Andy Serkis, John-Rhys Davies and Cersei from Game of Thrones.
